Etymologie (Englisch)

Ultimately from Latin Patavium, which may have had a variant Vulgar Latin form *Patava/*Pataua, later monophthongized to Padoa in the local Venetan language, and transcribed as Padua in Medieval Latin; this then became Padova in the Tuscan dialect (and hence later Italian) after labialization of the 'u'.
